Amateur Entertainment.

On Saturday evening charming amateur
parlor entertainment was given for charit-
able purpose at the house of Mr. Seth B.
Hersey. The parlors were filled and the
various numbers upon the programme were
received with great pleasure. There were
piano solos by Miss Haskell, Miss McAlpine,
Miss Fobes and Miss MeGregor; duet by
Mrs. Hersey and Mrs. Woodman, and trio
by Miss MeGregor, Miss Lamson and Mrs
Woodman.
Miss Cram and Miss Randall rendered the
vocal music with clearness and grace. The
violin was heard in various numbers
Masters Charlie Lamson and Harold B. Fobes
pleased their hearers with the rendering of
their selections. The gem of the evening
was violin solo by Miss Goodwin, pupil
OF Eichberg, who has recently come among
us as teacher upon this instrument. Her
rendering of Wieniawski's "Legende" was
marked by great delicacy of execution, and
showed Miss Goodwin an artist of ability.
The entertainment was closed by piano
recital OF Familiar Airs" by Mrs. Hersey.
